mainline vs beagleboard Linux

Hi All,

What is the philosophy behind maintaining a separate git tree here https://github.com/beagleboard/linux vs having all required software/driver support part of mainline Linux?

I can’t seem to find a reference to the thinking and/or processes.

Best regards,
Andrew

Did you try the search bar?

Go run mainline, what interface is missing?

ps you can quickly boot mainline omap2plus_defconfig or
multi_v7_defconfig configs with:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/configs/omap2plus_defconfig

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/configs/multi_v7_defconfig

via:

sudo /opt/scripts/tools/update_kernel.sh --omap2plus-channel

or:
sudo /opt/scripts/tools/update_kernel.sh --multiv7-channel

Regards,
